Surely that's it for Scunny

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

That is a hell of a long way to play home games!

Corrected 😂 I thought it looked wrong when I typed it - too many sherbets sadly!

Why walk out in the 72nd minute to recognise 72 seasons in the EFL?

Just wait until next season and walk out in the 15th minute.  To commiserate with 15 seasons
expected in NL..

Assessment from the excellent Price of Football here. Well worth reading the full thread; there are some astonishing statements in there, not least a total spend of wages since 2013 of £41m.

More remarkable than that though for me, is a combined wage bill of £8.1m in 2020 and 2021. Let that sink in; £8.1m to have the club sink to one of the poorest Division 4 campaigns in living memory. That’s an almost criminal mismanagement of a football club.

Look, putting to one side that it’s always funny to see your rivals get relegated (even slightly cathartic when you consider all that we’ve had to endure ourselves), I fúcking despise people who destroy community football clubs in this way. See Charles Koppel and Pete Winkelman of Wimbledon, George Reynolds of Darlington, Steve Dale of Bury. Different methods perhaps, but all equally destructive.

Peter Swann is a wrecking ball going through Scunthorpe United football club, and sadly I’m only speaking slightly figuratively. Still, the anger emanating from the Iron fam base is little more than tepid - I really don’t get it. The damage being done is irreversible.

Agree with it being tepid but in truth, had it not been for Alex May and Lloyd Griffith tweeting about it, the passivity from town fans was clear to see.

Swann has smashed the club to pieces in the same was as those you mention. I’ve a very good friend who’s a true scunny fan and was the first to congratulate me when we went up in 2016. They’re going down Becauee they’re terrible but much like us, they’ve been poorly run for years with seemingly little challenge. The numbers, however, are staggering. Eye watering in fact.

On the other thread we talked about teams spending big and gaining success, soccernomics proving that theory, here we have the anomaly…

Is it flipping hilarious that a rival is going down, too right. It’s comedy gold especially with so little fight. Is it sad to see a football club so poorly managed? Definitely, whoever they are.

All of a sudden it makes the relegation battle in this league a bit more interesting because Kings Lynn or Weymouth might survive another year in this league if they can finish third bottom.

Would expect the Mansfield fans will outnumber the Scunny fans at Glanford Park (or whatever it is called) next Saturday, especially with Mansfield chasing a play-off spot.

The day Scunny could officially be relegated if results go against them

Weymouth is a mighty long way to travel for football next weekend. If only there was a nearby alternative…..

I don’t get this love in about them. We’re they, or others, sympathetic when we got the drop last season or all those years ago? So all I can say is, these moments get to bite you on the bottom!
